I would like to know more about:<br><br> - analog electronics. I've dabbled in it off and on, but never got serious.<br> - metalworking.<br> - woodworking.<br> - interfacing sensors and actuators to computers.<br>
- what I'll call "packaging". Once you have something that works<br> on a breadboard or a laptop with USB cables hanging off it,<br> how do you turn that into a standalone device that just works?<br>
- finding parts, supplies, and tools.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 11, 2011 at 10:55 AM, Thomas A Ramsey <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tramsey1@uoregon.edu">tramsey1@uoregon.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I share some of your want-to-learns:<br>
-Microcontroller programming (outside of the "walled garden") and general C programming<br>
-Networks: bluetooth protocol, xbees, etc<br>
-Steel and aluminum welding<br>
-GPS interfacing<br>
-I2C, serial, general integrated circuitry<br>
<br>
I know there's a lot to be interested in and I'm having a hard time staying with any one subject long enough to get it down without going of on a tangent on another.<br>

One of the more important things I hope to get out of our collective<br>
maker experience is to learn new things and enhance what I already<br>
know- and I know I'm not the only one who shares the same hope. I<br>
think it would be cool to have subject-matter experts conduct some<br>
meetings where they provide useful insights and basic getting-started<br>
knowledge. For instance, I want to learn:<br>
<br></div>
* How to design and execute scripts in Processing<br>
<br>
* More about coding for microcontrollers, especially for controlling<div class="im"><br>
lighting and for MIDI applications<br></div>
* Wireless control and telemetry<br>
<br>
* How to implement machine vision for gestural control and other fun<br>
stuff<br>
* How to weld steel without making a mess<div class="im"><br>
<br>
How about you guys- what do you want to learn?<br>
